Our ancestors expelled colonial rulers in 1947 after great struggle and sacrifices so that people could freely live in peace in line with Islamic values of freedom, equality and justice, but oppressors rule through their proxies, the corrupt ruling elite. We must break all the shackles of slavery, regain independence and dignity! We have enormous potentials,reject plunderers and support competent and honest leadership. Freedom is Priceless

After failing to response to corruption, misgovernance allegations of IK, the frustrated opponents are launching personal attack at Imran Khan. Imran Khan, married Jamima Goldsmith, her father Sir James Goldsmith was Christian, his father was Jewish and his mother Catholic; Goldsmith converted to Christianity. Jamima, a Christian, converted to Islam before her marriage with Imran Khan. They have two children but the marriage ended in divorce.

Lets see this in the light of Quran;5:5 and Sunnah, which allows Muslim to marry women from the People of the Book. [Christian or Jewish].

This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good). (Quran 5:5)

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married two Jewish women, Safiyyabint Huyayy,Rayhana bint Zayd, while Maria al-Qibtiyya was an Egyptian Coptic Christian, [ra] they are known to have accepted Islam. Imran Khan did not violate Quran or Sunnah when he married a Christian women, who converted to Islam. One must be very careful while criticizing or making fun of some thing which is permitted by Quran and Sunnah. Lets he invites rage of Allah. (Quran;7:32)

One wife of the prophet Safiyyah bint Huyayee Pbuh , she was a Jewish lady who lived in Khaibar , a City north of Medina . Briefly she was captured during the battle of Khaibar, in which Muslims armies won the battle and captured the city and they freed her and she become the wife of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh so Ummul Momeneen [mother of Muslims]. she was a daughter of Great Jewish Leader in Khaibar . Her husband was killed in the war . She was a widow . She was freed and treated with respect ! . It is a traditions of Pro Muhammad pbuh to spread peace and to instate LOVE and peace and stability after war in the region , to join Muslims with any losing enemies , to eradicate hate and revenge. At this juncture , Pro Muhammad Pbuh proposed to Saffiyah for marriage she simply accepted it . Hazrat Saffiyah Pbuh was converted to Islam. Once Habsyah Pbuh , a wife of the prophet , despised her with Jealousy because she had much attentions from the Prophet. Habsyah pbuh called her name " Hi Jewish daughter ". Safiyyah cried and humiliated and told Pro Muhammad Pbuh the situations , in REPLY . Prophet Muhammad [Pbuh] told her: " why did not you answer back to Habsah [Pbuh] , My husband was Muhammad [PBUH] , My Father was Harun [Pbuh] and my Uncle was Moses [Pbuh]."Umul Momeneen Safiyyah continued to observed Saturday the Jewish holy day and had good relations with the Jews. Her slave girl told the two situations to Syd Omar MAPWH and Omar asked about the accusations . She reply She will put much attentions to Friday than Saturday and with regards to the Jews , she told Omar , even Pro Muhammad Pbuh had kind relations with his relations that were pagans . On that Omar peacefully leave to what she did . She died in year Hijra 50 , during Muawiyah period , She was buried in great Jannatul Baqi in Medina , along with great muslims .

According to a hadith, Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) contemporaries believed that due to Safiyya's high status, it was only befitting that she be manumitted and married to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).Modern scholars believe that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married Safiyya (r.a) as part of reconciliation with the Jewish tribe and as a gesture of goodwill. John L. Esposito states that the marriage may have been political or to cement alliances.Haykal opines that Muhammad's manumission of and marriage to Safiyaa was partly in order to alleviate her tragedy and partly to preserve their dignity, and compares these actions to previous conquerors who married the daughters and wives of the kings whom they had defeated. According to some, by marrying Safiyyah, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) aimed at ending the enmity and hostility between Jews and Islam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad's_wivesThe common misconception that; “The Muslims are commanded by Qur’an to be hostile with the non Muslims”, is far from truth. On the contrary Qur’an urges the Muslims to keep normal relationship with non Muslims based upon, “Equity, Kindness and Love” [Qur’an;60:7-9].The Christians and Jews being ‘people of scripture’ are accorded special status, to the extent that Muslims are allowed to eat their food [kosher] and marry their chaste women, what else could be the level of intimacy! Muslims are urged to resist oppression and fight in self defense with those who expel or aid in expelling them from their homes due to their faith and belief. Those non Muslims who do not indulge in such an activity against them are to be treated with kindness and equity [Qur’an:22:39-40]. The actual cause of antagonism with non Muslims is not their disbelief but their hostility to Islam and their tyrannical treatment of the followers of Islam, Zionism is racism in Palestine. Jews of Madina were treated as equal citizen but their treachery resulted in expulsion and punishment according to Torah law. Jews and Arabs are descendants of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) being an Arabs is from progeny of Prophet Ishmael (pbuh), the eldest son of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and Jews from the progeny of Prophet Isaac (pbuh), step brother and other son of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). More over Prophet Abraham (pbuh) is the spiritual father Muslims, Christians and Jews, all called Children of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Hence Muslims in every Salah/ prayer recite Durood-e-Ibrahimi(having a reference to Abraham):

"O Allah, let Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious".

The Muslims, therefore, should distinguish between the hostile disbeliever and the non-hostile disbeliever, and should treat those disbelievers well who have never treated them evilly.Read more :
